Families are then invited to meet Santa Claus at Complexe Desjardins.
Spectators can line the whole parade route except for Ste-Catherine St. between Bleury and Balmoral Sts., due to a private construction site. Beginning at 10 a.m., spectators will be able to gather to watch the event on a jumbo screen erected at Dorchester Square.
The current weather forecast for Saturday morning calls for sunny skies and a high of about 1 degree Celsius.
Those unable to attend will be able to watch the parade on Sunday at 4 p.m. on the TVA network. The event will also be broadcast on Saturday, Dec. 16, at 1:30 p.m.Â
